Is this normal ? Just curious if others may experience the same thing?

timeisfathaoftruth · 9 April 2010, 02:16 PM

Shouldn't be "normal"...I'd go back and ask for them.

superb · 9 April 2010, 02:19 PM

timeisfathaoftruth is correct. You should go back and get them.

Mrdi · 9 April 2010, 02:22 PM

Some walk out w/o even the box.
Just ask.

andrew79 · 9 April 2010, 02:23 PM

True... i may get too excited that i didn't realize it...

bodybump · 9 April 2010, 02:31 PM

Most of them also has no BEZEL PROTECTOR!!!

Jason71 · 9 April 2010, 02:34 PM

It is an easy fix...........Don't buy from an AD, buy from a TRF seller

andrew79 · 9 April 2010, 02:35 PM

LOL.... just wondering if hangtags affect resale price ?

Check under the collar in the box, alot of AD's put them under there with any links taken out.

I would ditch the seller who does not give me my bezel protector.

rolexcd · 9 April 2010, 03:12 PM

Should reallly ask for them. The red one is not an issue but the green would have model and serial numbers on therefore it is a "must-have" item.

Gerardus · 9 April 2010, 04:04 PM

Ask for them because it makes the set complete.

From what I remember..
-watch with plastic stickers
-outer box
-inner box
-watch holder
-booklets (3 most of the time)
-red hangtag
-green hangtag
-bezel protector

-warranty holder
-warranty card
-cleaning cloth with rivetted sides

I got all of that except the green tag. I didn't want to ask for it, the seller at the AD, used the green tag when charged me. Does it have a bar-code? Anyway, as he so carefully put all the other items in my box, but kept on to this one, I just thought that maybe they keep it...

I really had a great experience buying from this AD. The service was excellent. No pressure, took my time, (was there twice) and even got a great discount! (15%)

bayerische · 9 April 2010, 05:16 PM

Just remembered threads about the AD's keeping the links they take out of your bracelet... This AD took two links out of mine, but I did get the two links taken out with me.

andrew79 · 9 April 2010, 05:59 PM

bayerische: indeed, the green tag (with the barcode) was not in the box. Anyway, i might double check the box again and visit the AD again if necessary.

Thanks all for the replies.... this forum is very useful indeed.

RollieNZ · 9 April 2010, 07:18 PM

My AD wouldn't let me have the green tag.

Said they use it for inventory control.

gelshocker · 9 April 2010, 07:42 PM

The AD took my green tag but gladly returned it when I asked a few days later.

If you look at any Rolex adverts, at most the red tag is pictured with the watch. Never seen the 'factory' green tag included.

The boxes, booklets etc are specifically produced for the customer; the red tag if your watch is COSCed. But is the green tag really meant to be included? I'm not so sure.

Sweramic · 9 April 2010, 07:44 PM

I didn't get the green hangtag either and I bought from AD. Doesn't matter though, the watch will stay with me for the rest of my life.

Singslinger · 9 April 2010, 08:06 PM

I believe ADs receive each watch from Rolex in their own transparent, hard plastic case. There's a bar code sticker on one side of the case and another that bears the watch's serial number (eg "V123456'').

These cases are pretty much the same size for most watches, except the Deepsea, whose case is much bigger.

My AD gave me the cases for my Milgauss GV and Deepsea, on top of all the other stuff like hang tags, red seals and so on.

My ad did the same, I went back the next day and got them, he said he didn't know that I wanted them. I may be that most people don't want them and we "Rolex freaks", want everything "rolex" that we can get our hands on!

moviefreak · 10 April 2010, 12:45 AM

OK I forgot one insignificant item.. but some sellers advertise that it also comes with that... it is the sheet of foam that goes in the plastic box (where the box closes).. a white sheet of foam (1-1.5mm thickness). and it has like a square in the middle for the watch.

I got that with my Deepsea!

But this thing I actually threw away...

So is my watch worthless now?
